Running Local JavaScript Files In Chrome

By default, Google Chrome doesn’t allow you to run JavaScript from your
filesystem. This means that if you are testing a JavaScript only app,
lots of times you have to throw up a server simply to get around this
restriction.

I recently discovered two Chrome command line flags that allow local
JavaScript files to run from local HTML files:

--allow-file-access
--allow-file-access-from-files

Now you can test client-side apps without having to start up a server.
